Wholl make his mark
The captain cried
To the devil drink a toast
Well glut the hold
With cups of gold
And well feed the sea with ghosts
I see your hunger for a fortune
Could be better
Served beneath my flag
If youve the stomach
For a broadside
Come aboard my pretty boys
I will take you and make you
Everything youve ever dreamed
Make fast the guns tonight we sail
When the high tide floods the bay
Cut free the lines
And square the yards
Get the black flag stowed away
The turk the arab and the spaniard
Will soon have pennies on their eyes
And any other laden fancy
We will take her by surprise
I will take you and make you
Everything youve ever dreamed
Six days off the cuban coast
When a sail ahead they spied
A galleon of the treasure fleet
The mizzen lookout cried
Closer to the wind my boys
The mad eyed captain roared
For every man thats alive tonight
Will be hauling gold aboard
Spare us the galleon begged
But mercys face had fled
Blood ran from the screaming souls
The cutlass harvested
Driven to the quarter deck
The last survivor fell
Shes ours my boys
The captain grinned
And no one left to tell
The captain rose from a silk divan
With a pistol in his fist
And shot the lock from an iron box
And a blood red ruby kissed
I give you jewelry of turquoise
A crucifix of solid gold
One hundred thousand silver pieces
It is just as I foretold
You, you see there before you
Everything youve ever dreamed
Anchored in an indigo moonlit bay
Gold eyed round fires
The sea thieves lay
Morning, white shells
And a pipe of clay
As the wind filled their footprints
They were far, far away
Our sails swell full
As we brave all seas
On a westward wind
To live as we please
With the wicked wild eyed woman
Of portobello town
Where weve been told
That a purse of gold
Buys any man a crown
They will serve you and cloth you
Exchange your rags
For the velvet coats of kings
Wholl drink a toast with me
I give you liberty
This town is ours - tonight
Landlord wine
And make it the finest
Make it a cup for a sea dogs thirst
Two long years of bones and beaches
Fever and leaches did their worst
So fill the night with paradise
Bring me peach and peacock
till I burst
But first, I want a soft touch
In the right place
I want to feel like a king tonight
Ten on the black
To beat the frenchman
Back you dogs
Give them room to turn
Now open wide sweet heavens gate
Tonight were gonna
See if heaven burns
I want an angel on a gold chain
And Ill ride her to the stars
Its the last time
For a long, long time
Come the daybreak we embark
On the flood of the morning tide
Once more the ocean cried
This company will return one day
Though we feel your tears
Its the price we pay
For theres prizes to be taken
And glory to be found
Cut free the chains
Make fast your souls
We are eldorado bound
I will take you
For always, forever, together
Until hell calls our names
Wholl drink a toast with me
To the devil and the deep blue sea
Gold drives a man to dream
Emerson Lake & Palmer are a legendary prog-rock band known for their overblown soundscapes and financial excess. Formed in 1970 by Keyboardist Keith Emerson, lead singer and bassist Greg Lake, they were joined shortly after by drummer Carl Palmer, at the time many referred to them as the first supergroup in prog-rock. Eventually the band would go on to sell over 30 million albums worldwide. Albums of interest would be Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970) Tarkus (1971) Pictures at an Exhibition (1971) Trilogy (1972) and Brain Salad Surgery (1973). They broke-up after their 1978 release Love Beach, which was poorly received and according to the group was only produced to fulfil their contractual obligation. There was a short lived reunion in 1985, without Palmer, called Emerson, Lake and Powell; then again (with Palmer) in 1992, recording albums and touring off and on until the late 90s.
